Hey guys, my turbo kicks in around 3000rpm and u can feel the power increasing rapidly to 4000 rpm, but it seems to just bottle kneck or max out or hit a wall all the way from 4000 through to 6000 rpm at which stage the turbo kicks back in (and i gotta shift). I cant afford a dyno at the moment as im still paying the car off ( and the $1800 insurance -_-) so any suggestions would be much appreciated

Spark plug gaps are all good and spark getting through is sweet.

Ah 3000 rpm isnt down low to me, drives me nuts having to drop the clutch at 4000rpm to take off fast -_-

I thought maybe its just the turbo maxing out after 4000rpm, but then i thought it was unusual that it seems to kick back in again at 6000 rpm

Oh well thanks for your help. Cant put a new turbo onto it due to power restrictions damit.

um it couldnt be like the wastegate or something could it?

What about the Computer that organises fuel distribution and such? Any way that could be misfunctioning or set up wrong? Its a pretty standard looking unit, sitting on the top of the engine where u take off the spark plug cover, right?

thanks

well i fancied i did see a drop in boost at these rpm's but i think mainly it just stays at the same spot (about 5 out of 7).

Only work that has been done is the exhaust and new suspension.

I dont know what my boost is set at as i dont have a boost gauge and have very little knowledge on cars made after 1985 so that i am unable to put one in.

Me thinks you running standard CPU

Me thinks you gots a classic case of retard and enrich me does

To much boost perhaps

Anything ringing a bell :D

The std ecu does not have an issue with R&R.

They simply fuel cut.

Ppls have dropped hks2530's on them with an FCD and made 200rwkw on the stock ecu.

R33 ecu... yes major r&r.

Dyno power runs are not expensive. Anywhere from $35 to $80 depending on the shop.

Throw iton the dyno and see what the afr's, boost and power curve are doing.

No doubt it will shed some light on whats up with it, much cheaper than replacing a fuel pump that may not make a difference.

It could be a number of things... for example afm, knock sensors, fuel pump, cas... throw it on the dyno to weed a few of them out.

yeh we serviced it and such so all thats good, ran some injector cleaner through it to, um in a couple of house (5) ill be home and will take a pic of the engine bay and post it here.. although i wouldnt know what to do once its attached, e.g. what to crank it to and such.

ahm ill take it to a dyno i guess so they can adjust the boost and such for me, and get them to check out the cpu and all that, hope it doesnt cost to much, i still owe $10000 on the car zz

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
